Papal front runners. If the Black guy becomes the next pope, white Republicans will scream DEI till their buttholes explode



The anti-woke cardinal from Africa who conservative Catholics want as Pope​

The odds of Cardinal Robert Sarah succeeding Pope Francis have shortened significantly in recent days


He has firmly adopted the conservative line on everything from same-sex marriage and gender ideology to the dangers of Western secularism, Islamic fundamentalism and the threat uncontrolled migration poses to European culture and values.

 
Christ gave us the example of baptism. He didn't get sprinkled. Christ was an accountable age when he was baptized not an infant. Baptism is a CHOICE to follow God. Infants can't choose anything.

I have no problem if parents want to baptize their kids as a family ritual, but I do think when the kids get old enough they should have a second baptism if they so choose, to follow the New Testament example. it's their belief system, so they can follow whatever they determine in best for themselves. Jesus didn't say much for public consumption, so it behooves Christians to read what he did say carefully. John The Baptist was admired by Jesus and many others.

Some church have infant dedication where parent promise to raise the kid in the church.

A Clarence Thomas in a different colored robe.
 
Yeah, this is where those "fundies" as Owl has been calling them get that from. One of the most recent examples, that dude that wrote the Left Behind series. All the kids go up with the believers, their innocence makes it so they do not face the Tribulation. This is the type of Church I grew up in, that I get all those stories from... All that anger I used to hold against them, etc. Anyway, kids that are younger than the "Age of Reason" are innocent and are taken up to heaven with the believers right after the "dead in Christ".
So children automatically going to heaven angered you?
 
Your xtian bibles revelation reads like it had written by someone on drugs

It really does. I thought the same thing the first time I read it, when I wasa kid. Always thought it was interesting that fundies put a lot of stock in that particular book, while Lutherans totally ignored it. I wonder why the compilers of the Bible thought to include it?
 
Agreed on the variances.

That said, I fail to see how God can be all-merciful, all-loving and all-knowing but also prevent young souls from entering Heaven.

Or good souls, period. Why should a vile and corrupt soul like Trump's get into Heaven, assuming he recants and pleads guilty on his deathbed, but a generous, kind, compassionate, mostly sin-less person in India burns for eternity? It is not logical. If there really is a Creator, he/she/it/them must be logical, given how the universe was made.

Which is why I believe that people have free will; they choose to "go with God" or to stay in the darkness. It's a choice. Trump is making his. It's not for eternity although it can be if he chooses it to be. God doesn't choose, we do.

Because they're not as retarded as you

Working on the Sabbath is wrong correct? Are you saying Jesus sinned? Interesting exegesis but you are obviously wrong. Try again..
No I'm saying Jesus sinned, stop being simplistic. You're like the Pharisees who couldnt see the forest for the trees. You focus on which day is the Sabbath rather than thr point of the sabbath.

The sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath. Mark 2:27

Why is trump so vile, for divorce, for tariffs?

You have no clue.

You just repeat stupidity.
